Shareaza Betrayed Me!

[Kenny1036]

The problem with Shareaza is that it downloads using KILOBITS, and Kazaa uses KILOBYTEs, the difference is that 8 KILOBITS equals 1 KILOBYTE so take that into mind when downloading from shareaza.

Hello!

I dont know if Shareaza is faster or slower then Kazaa Lite but one thing that annoys me in Kazaa Lite is the incorrect depiction of the download speed in the traffic window. It is showed as Kb which means Kilobits. But they are really shown in KB as in KiloBytes which is 8 times faster. Why is this it is strange??

For instance I currently got a movie file downloading at 240Kb according to Kazaa Lite but if I look at the rate at which the MB of the file increases I can see that it moves at a speed of about 1 MB every 5 seconds which means 200KiloBytes not bits every second or about 2400Kilobits/second. The difference as many people know between KiloBytes and bits is that KB is written with a capital B and bits with a normal b.

This is my maximum available bandwidth (2.5Mbit/s actually) it is not common to reach those speeds on Kazaa but it happens sometimes when the file is very popular or on a good host source. When I was using Gnutella thet pretty much never happened. My maximum record there was around 1Mbit/s which is a great speed on Gnutella but not that uncommon on Kazaa. Also Gnutella is very decentralised even more so then Fast Track so finding hard to get rare files there is even harder. And also the connections when downloading on Gnutella is very unstable and if you dont baby sit your computer you is bound to loose the connection when a crucial UltraPeer is lost. I do not know about the the other networks though. I have not used Shareaza since it become multiple networks client. But I feel the urge to try it out so I have downloaded it now just to try it and se if it is any better then LimeWire and older Shareaza that I used!.

I've been trying to D/L Turbo Pascal for Windows for four hours w/ Shareaza.....using KL, I got it in 20 minitues.

Maybe because there millions of ppl on Kazaa compared to under 100k on Raza? DUH!!

Shareaza isn't a network, it's like trillian. There's no "trillian" network. It just connects to other ones... So if there is only one guy on Shareaza, he can still download, duh!

He doesn&#39;t mean Shareaza doesn&#39;t have it&#39;s own network, he means it isn&#39;t its own network.
